About Redwood Materials
Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.

- Learn and develop enough technical depth to collaborate with colleagues on translating customer requirements into commercial offerings
- Support RFP responses, pricing development, and incentive eligibility analysis including ITC structuring
- Collaborate with Engineering, Commercial, and Finance teams to support project definition and delivery
- Maintain accurate records, track deal progression, and help prepare pipeline reports and commercial documentation
Desired Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, business, or a related field
- 1–5 years of experience in energy storage, utility-scale solar, grid-connected energy systems, or a related energy field (including finance, sales, business development, project development, or adjacent roles)
- Demonstrated interest in and growing understanding of energy markets, especially battery energy storage
- Exposure to commercial pricing models, RFP processes, or proposal documentation preferred
- Basic familiarity with Investment Tax Credit (ITC) structuring and energy project economics is a plus
- Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively across technical and commercial teams
- Comfortable in a dynamic, fast-paced startup environment; able to adapt to shifting priorities
- Self-motivated and independent; able to manage multiple tasks and competing deadlines
- Ability to travel as needed to support customer engagements and industry events
- Our business is dynamic — you’ll need to be comfortable in a startup environment and able to think independently as a motivated self-starter
